Chapter 1 Pastoral
Thirty years of Xuanhe, spring
Ronghua Palace
The sky has just been white, and there are gradually people walking around the Ronghua Palace, the maid wearing a peach-colored palace robe, shuttling back and forth in the carved beams and paintings, the splendid palace, without a sound, the concubine who is guarding the outer hall, sitting on the carved dragon chair in the Phnom Penh, slightly closed her eyes, although she is almost losing her mind when she is sleepy, she has to hold on to get through this last hour.
Yesterday, the queen mother committed an old illness, and suddenly came to make a big noise, so she summoned the concubine to come to serve the illness, and the toss stopped in the second half of the night, and now she is asleep, but the concubine can't sleep, as long as she survives this hour, she is also relieved. As time passed, Concubine Shu's mind gradually became confused. Until......
"Lady Niangniang, the queen mother passed you in. ”
The palace maid who suddenly came out was the queen's personal girl, named Lixue, who used to be very quiet and calm, but now she saw a slight horror on her face, the concubine's heart trembled, and the sleepiness in her mind immediately disappeared, got up, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the inner hall.
There was only one red candle burning in the temple, and it was lonely and a little dark. Approaching、Looking at the smoke tent that was put down、Concubine Shu suddenly became a little timid。 Xu is she refused to step forward for a long time, and the queen mother on the bed couldn't help but lift the veil violently, and her long hair covered most of her face, adding the dim light, Concubine Shu only felt that she was going to faint.
"Bengong dreamed of her, she said she wanted revenge, she stared at a pair of eyes, just stared at Bengong, and said that she was waiting for Bengong below, the knife mountain, the oil pot has already been prepared. ”
The hoarseness of the voice was a slight sharp hissing sound like a sharp weapon on metal, striking the eardrums. After listening to the voice, Concubine Shu's body shook a few times, and it took a breath before she eased up, stabilized her mind, and comforted softly:
"The queen mother is a magic barrier, people die like lights go out, what else can she do to you. ”
Hearing this, the queen raised her head suddenly, and one of her exposed eyes stared at Concubine Shu deadly, exactly like in a dream. Concubine Shu's heart immediately tugged again.
"Did you see clearly back then, was that little one clean?"
"Clean, when she did it, I watched from the sidelines, and a knife in the chest was absolutely fatal. ”
Hearing this, the queen slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally returned to a normal appearance.
Shenjiazhuang has been poor for decades, and what has been passed down from generation to generation is the ability of the ancestors to leave to farm, and the hard-earned idea of hard-earned money was smashed on the yellow soil that was sown year after year and had no harvest year after year. Therefore, the surplus in his hand is very limited, although the life is hard, but he is also used to such days, occasionally quarreling with the people in the Zhuangzi, and the Taoist parents are short, and the life is also delicious.
Twenty miles away from it is Mancang Town, the small town has been lively for several days, and it is not until today that this excitement has been transmitted to Shenjiazhuang.
From the small gravel road at the head of the village, a girl of about 15 years old ran on, her little feet on the uneven gravel road, trembling, as if she was about to fall down the next moment. It's just that...... From the head of the village to the end of the village, although running slowly, but never fell, around a loess wall, in a turn, I saw a cyan figure squatting in the ground.
"Sister Erjin, Brother Wangcun and my brother have a fight. ”
The voice is milky and vague, if you listen to it for the first time, you may still think it is cute, but after listening to it too much, this ear will have calluses, especially in Shen Erjin's ears, I can't help but sigh and breathe, this trouble is coming again.
This year is a good year, just the beginning of spring there was a light rain, as the saying goes, a good spring rain is as expensive as oil, but this oil is not tight to moisten the newly emerging bamboo shoots, but also let the weeds grow crazy, looked up at the little fat girl, then lowered his head and focused on pulling out the weeds that were an inch long in the ground, and waiting to use these bamboo shoots to go out for some salt back! When he looked up at the black wet mud in the field, he quickly shrank back.
"Sister Erjin, go and take a look! Otherwise, Brother Wangcun will be beaten by my brother again." ”
After speaking, a small mouth pouted high;
"Last time, it was because my brother said a bad word about Sister Erjin, and the two of them fought when Brother Wangcun knew, and at that time Brother Wangcun was bleeding, if you don't go, Brother Wangcun will bleed again. ”
Shen Erjin's afterglow swept over her small movements, and the corners of her mouth curled, and finally gave her some reaction.
"It's Brother Wangchun, correct you for the last time, if you make a mistake next time, you are not allowed to come to my house to play with Brother Wangchun. ”
The voice is soft and delicate, but it is faintly clear, which makes people can't help but quiet down when they hear it. Seeing that the little chubby girl puffed out her cheeks and didn't speak, Shen Erjin pulled out the last weed, and then straightened up and walked over from the field, the little girl looked at her trousers that were curled up to her calf, revealing the white, and couldn't help but reach out and pull up her sleeves, and looked at it seriously.
Shen Erjin walked to the door barefoot, picked up the wooden basin that had been prepared a long time ago, and poured a basin of cold water, his brows immediately furrowed, he didn't expect the water that had been drying for a long time to be so cold. After putting on his shoes and socks, putting down his trousers, and putting the tub at the door, even if he was ready, he turned around and picked up the little girl, and walked back the way she came, but ...... This amount seems to be ......
"Tell me honestly, what has your mother done for you to eat again in the past few days, and this amount is almost catching up with my little black. ”
Xiao Hei is the little piglet that Shen's mother exchanged for all her savings a few days ago and added half a load of grain, and the little girl naturally knew it and was not happy immediately.
"I am a human being, and I cannot compare with a pig. ”
Shen Erjin smiled, has she still grown in the past few days! If she hadn't been so spurred on from behind, presumably her mother wouldn't have taught her these things from time to time. Shen Erjin is tall and long-legged, and after a while, he went from the end of the village to the wide grain field at the head of the village, and saw a group of little children standing in a long row, Shen Erjin saw Shen Wangchun standing at the head at a glance, drooping his head, and combing neatly when he went out in the morning.
"I said that you little rabbit cubs, all day long together is either to fight or to harm people, if you don't do good things, you dare to bully my fat tiger today, see if our fat tiger is easy to bully, I will put the words here today, which of you dare to touch my baby son a finger in the future. ”
